Bug Description

Ubuntu Precise Development Branch. 12.04

Further to bug report #964685 - reference Missing Disability Accessibility to change cursors to high viability and change cursor size.

basic high contrast cursors from dmz-cursor-theme. These appear to be installed in 12.04 under /usr/share/icons/foo/cursors - yet there is no apparent way to utilze them - or change the size should they be selected.

Advised missing access and control is through gnome-control-center.

Facility has been accessible in 10.04-11.10 through Desktop Right-click - themes - customise - pointer.

Presently there is no access to cursors and or resize - compromising basic disability accessibility - live-CD and installed.

Screen print to show expected behaviour-accesability in 10.04-11.11 in bug tracker at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/98503309/AcessibleMouse.png

There is a request for a such option on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665907 where upstream said "I think pointer size should be controlled by the text size control."
